Question on TW Playtests

[Edward Li]

General question when TW solicits players to receive and review rackets - how many of each racket is sent out? What I am trying to figure out is, how many reviews I can expect to read from players having received rackets.

For example, I am interested in the Solinco Whiteout 18x20 and its XTD version. There was a playtest thread on this and I went through it as carefully as I could but what I came up with was 4 reviews of the 18x20 and 5 reviews of the XTD version. The fact it wasn't the same number of each already had me doubting my counting skills. So I just wanted to hear what the official count should have been for this playtest review in particular but what it should be in general as well.

Thanks!

Edward Li,

It depends. It can range from as little as 3-4 racquets to as many as 18-20 racquets. I would say the average is 10-12 racquets. It mostly depends what we receive from the brands. The comments can also range if someone who isn't on the playtest might post their comments to add to the conversation and we have also had people not post their comments as well. For the Solinco playtest you are referring to, there was 8 people on the playtest.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW
